Ep54 – Becoming A Leader In Your Industry

We all love great leaders. We’re attracted to them in life and in business. But we don’t often have great leaders in our organizations. Development and training are often thrown around as the same thing, but Think GREAT leadership coach and speaker, Erik Therwanger, is passionate about differentiating the two terms. In today’s episode, we talk with Erik as he offers some insight on developing leaders at all levels of an organization instead of simply managing and training employees.
